When you prepare your 2020 income tax return, be sure to do the following to ensure the credit is calculated correctly on your income tax return. 

  1. In the Federal section, select the Federal Review interview section at the top of the screen.
  2. This will take you to the input section for the Recovery Rebate credit.
  3. Be sure to indicate the actual amount of each stimulus payment you received on the page that asks if you received a stimulus payment. 
  4. There will be two boxes and both need to be completed.  Since you did not receive either payment, enter zero in both boxes.

The Recovery Rebate Credit will be calculated based upon your input and is based upon your 2020 income tax return.

 

Please see the attached link for more information on who can claim the credit.
